T.J. McConnell – DownToBuck

T.J. McConnell 12 Points/Career High 17 Assists Full Highlights (5/16/2021)

https://youtu.be/hsUmdKp8FpU T.J. McConnell has proven to be such a prolific assist-getter this season that I feel compelled to come up with a new nickname for him that reflects his dominance in that particular facet of the game. And I think I’ve got it: T.J. McOnBall. Because if you put him on the ball, he’ll average…

T.J. McConnell Career High 23 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (5/13/2021)

https://youtu.be/DlbvfS0qyOU DTB’S FUN FACT OF THE DAY: Before last night, T.J. McConnell had not scored twenty points in an NBA game. Is that crazy or what? Twenty isn’t THAT many points, all things considered. Plenty of scrubs score twenty points in their careers. Every season there’s a few random scrublords who randomly drop twenty after…

T.J. McConnell 19 Points/15 Assists Full Highlights (4/7/2021)

https://youtu.be/IDWzORxPsJg Sometimes plebs need to be put in their place. This is one of those times. It’s been a while since I reminded my loyal viewership of the fact that I pay real-life American dollars to subscribe to the analytical service Stathead, and that I’m a superior basketball fan to my viewers because of that…

T.J. McConnell 16 Points/15 Assists Full Highlights (3/19/2021)

https://youtu.be/yCSGHxLM0VA HOT TAKE ALERT! DOWNTOBUCK HAS A HOT TAKE THAT HE IS ABOUT TO PRESENT TO HIS UNQUESTIONING VIEWERSHIP! ALERT! HOT TAKE ALERT! T.J. McConnell could lead the league in assists, if he got to play 40 minutes a game on a team filled with elite shooters/scorers while monopolizing the ball in a Harden-esque way….

T.J. McConnell Triple Double 16 Pts/13 Asts/10 Stls Full Highlights (3/3/2021)

https://youtu.be/QD0YPybtqe8 T.J. McConnell is just a guy. If you look at him, you can see that. Compared to the highly athletic, highly tall, highly muscular dudes around him, his just-a-guyness becomes even more apparent. But this guy, who is just a guy, just got the first triple-double with steals since frickin’ MOOKIE BLAYLOCK IN 1998….

T.J. McConnell 17 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (2/27/2021)

https://youtu.be/hwuFVHBjE7I I’m struggling to come up with a white-guy trio that has much chemistry as the Pacers’ white-guy trio of T.J. McConnell (6 PPG), Doug McDermott (13 PPG), and Domantas Sabonis (21 PPG). There are three-man squads of white guys in the league, but they’re not really “trios” with “chemistry”. For example, Tyler Herro, Duncan…

T.J. McConnell 14 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (3/4/2020)

Life circumstances meant I didn’t get to watch this Bucks-Pacers game, so this vid is mostly for myself. Other people can watch it, obviously, because I uploaded it to Youtube, but this one was for my own edification. I just HAD to see how T.J. McConnell dropped 14 and 6 on us. What I was…

T.J. McConnell 15 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (12/20/2019)

Maybe I’ve got some biases that are showing through right now, but T.J. McConnell does not seem like the type of player who would be shooting 53% from the field. Being low-volume and taking only good shots only gets you so far in the NBA. You don’t instantly become a 50% shooter by being careful…

T.J. McConnell 17 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (11/8/2019)

I’m thinking really hard, absolutely stretching my brain to its limits, I even put my head in my absurdly overclocked microwave-within-a-microwave and set the timer to 10 minutes to try and help my recall ability, but I can’t think of a time that T.J. McConnell took over a game with his scoring. I’ve seen a…

T.J. McConnell 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/10/2019)

Marc Zumoff kindly informed us that this game ties a career high in points for T.J. McConnell, but he not-so-kindly neglected to remind us that McConnell’s true career high came in the playoffs, where he scored nineteen against the Celtics. This is a vital piece of information to be omitted, given that the “career high”…
